Intramedullary Interlocking Nail Fixation in Dogs and Cats: Biomechanics and Instrumentation*
of diaphyseal long bone fractures. Interlocking nails have transverse cannulations that accommodate transcortical screws, allowing surgeons to firmly fix the rod within the medullary canal, thereby effectively neutralizing bending, rotational, and axial forces that act on fractures. Interlocking nails have become increasingly To counter axial and rotational forces, intramedullary nails were dev...
متن کاملFatigue behavior of Ilizarov frame versus tibial interlocking nail in a comminuted tibial fracture model: a biomechanical study
BACKGROUND Treatment options for comminuted tibial shaft fractures include plating, intramedullary nailing, and external fixation. No biomechanical comparison between an interlocking tibia nail with external fixation by an Ilizarov frame has been reported to date. In the present study, we compared the fatigue behaviour of Ilizarov frames to interlocking intramedullary nails in a comminuted tibi...
متن کاملBiomechanical comparison of distal locking screws for distal tibia fracture intramedullary nailing
Background: Newer generation intramedullary (IM) tibial nails provide several distal interlocking screw options. The objectives were to determine: 1) if the new oblique interlocking option provides superior stability, 2) which screw orientation/ configuration is the most biomechanically stable, and 3) if three distal interlocking screws provide better stability. Methods: A preliminary experimen...
متن کاملPerceptions and Realities for Distal Freehand Interlocking of Intramedullary Nails
There is a perception that distal freehand interlocking (DFHI) of intramedullary nails can be difficult and time consuming. This study consists of a survey of surgeons' practices for DFHI screws and their reasons for not using this technique. A survey was sent to 1400 orthopaedic surgeons who were asked to agree or disagree with statements regarding the difficulty and indications for the usage ...
متن کاملExpandable intramedullary nails for fixation of tibial shaft fractures.
Interlocking intramedullary nailing is currently the preferred treatment for most tibial fractures requiring operative treatment, with good results and a relatively low complication rate as reported in large clinical series. However, vascular and neurological complications caused by interlocking screws have been reported. In addition, insertion of distal interlocking screws can be technically d...
